It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

Oh wait, crap, its over! We anticipate for days, weeks, months, and suddenly, I am in Target buying wrapping paper and ribbon at 50% off and Matt, Andrew & Brian are on their way home. Michael is headed for Florida, Lexi is IN Florida at the Harry Potter theme park and I spent the day cleaning up, doing laundry and being with Matt. I haven't blogged for over a month. Amanda is home again, had her 21st birthday, I have been in PT for my foot for 2 weeks, Christmas has come and gone, we played games, ate too much, opened presents, stayed up too late, laughed till we cried, watched Christmas Vacation, went to Christmas Eve service together, lit the Advent candle, went to Stanley's house for Christmas Eve, spent time with Grandma, took Amanda out for her first drink with her parents, did Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village, shopped, wrapped, visited, hosted, hugged, laughed and I am already missing it all. Will be glad when they are all back safely. East was hit hard with snow, DC not included but the guys gave a ride to our friend Adam, from Baltimore, whose flight was cancelled due to all the snowy weather...it is what it is and IT IS GOOD!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
